Reasons to start with Qinsy.
Beyond the basics.

Simply put, there is no job that Qinsy can’t handle. It has the features and capabilities to meet any client demand. And with stability that is well-known and renowned throughout the industry, clients can feel assured they have a reliable software to ensure even the most difficult jobs through to completion.

Measured & Proven

Multi-object support
Precisely track the position of multiple defined objects in support of dredging and marine construction applications.

Multi-sensor acquisition
Acquire data from multiple sensors simultaneously.

Sensor type support
Singlebeam, multibeam, laser, side scan sonar, magnetometer, seismic support, and sub bottom profiling.

Positioning and filtering
Multiple inputs (e.g. GPS, INS, tide, USBL, draft, etc.) for real-time positioning in 3D. Can be used in a Kalman filter.

Real-time processing
Real-time processing of point clouds, bathymetric grids, and side scan sonar mosaics for optimal qa/qc and rapid “at-the-dock” product delivery.

Real-time displays
Navigation display (layers: ENC, DXF/DWG, Geotiff ECW) multibeam displays, Numerics, profile display, and 3D displays.

Autonomous support
Autonomous vessel support with mission planning, intelligent auto-line generation, and remote display and control.

Dredging support
Setup applications, object configuration, monitoring, visualization, safety precautions, and reporting tools for dredging.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Processor Intel Core i7 2.6Ghz+
Video card NVIDIA 1 GB or higher (OpenGL & DirectX)
Hard drive: NVIDIA 1 GB or higher OpenGL and DirectX compatible Open GL 3+ for 3D point cloud display Autonomous survey platform (no displays)
Basic graphics card sufficient
Suggestion: think about power consumption of the PC
Monitor A resolution of 1280×1024 or better
Memory 4GB+
REMOTE DISPLAY CLIENTS
Windows 10 (64-bit) or Windows 11
4 GB Memory
Intel Core i5 Processor
1 TB Hard Drive; NVIDIA 500 MB (OpenGL & DirectX) Video Card
1 GB/s between online PC and remote PCs Network (recommended)
INPUT DEVICES
Mouse: 2 Button with Scroll Wheel, 3 button mouse or trackpad with equivalent functionality
STORAGE
Minimum of 9 GB of free space on the system drive.
If you opt to install Qinsy on another drive, you will still need 7 GB of free space on the system drive, this is because Geodetics, ENCs, etc. are still installed on the C drive.
Note: It is suggested to have sufficient storage capacity for acquisition with the Qinsy software. We suggest at least 1 TB.
Using a Solid State Drive (SSD) is recommended with the following type of operations: Laserscan acquisition. Multibeam survey with Water Column Data. For more advanced survey setups where the logging of RAW formats is required. Data processing purposes.
